Mayor Bill de Blasio

No, it’s not the protesters who beat and spit on cops and accuse them of being the KKK. It definitely isn’t the mobs chanting for dead cops. Nor is it those who shut down highways, bridges and invade stores to disrupt the holiday season.
The real problem, as de Blasio sees it, is the media. I kid you not — he actually shot the messenger.
He accused the reporters assembled in front of him of stoking outrage by focusing on “the few” protesters doing “immoral” things.
[. . .]
His heart remains with the protesters, and in spirit, he is still with them, denouncing the very police force that works for him. His passion for the anti-cop agenda is so deep that he wasn’t capable of following his own advice to take a break from divisiveness for even a single day.
The mayor’s intemperate performance was unforgettable, and unforgivable. Any hope that he would own up to the fact that he contributed to the atmosphere that led to Saturday’s bloody explosion was dashed.
Most important, it is unlikely that he will be able to lead the city forward or even back to where it was when he took office. He clearly continues to believe that there is something wrong with the NYPD, something fundamental that he is determined to fix, whatever the cost in civic harmony.

De Blasio doth protest too much — and blows his cover
